CHALLENGE: CONFESSION #1 JERRY GUARINO

IT IS MY PLEASURE TO BRING YOU JERRY GUARINO'S CONFESSION.

I think my short story, The Tightrope is my best work. It also happens to have been reprinted the most times (7 in 3 countries). It is a character/cultural study of the haves and the have nots. Like many of my stories, it has a O'Henry twist at the end.

My worst story, hmmm.. I guess it would have to be Recycling Technology, the only story that never got published. I think I was trying to be too clever (one should never be too clever).

For your personal reading, here is a link to The Tightrope, where you can also post a comment if you like.

Jerry Guarino’s short stories have been published by dozens of literary magazines in the United States, Canada, Australia and Great Britain. His first collection of twenty-six critically acclaimed stories, Cafe Stories, was released in October, 2011. It is available as a paperback on amazon.com and as an e-book on kindle.

Watch for his new story, The Chess Table at the Twenty or Less Press website.
